The workshop, led by Dr Lucia Yeung, a Research Supervision Development Lead at The University of Auckland, provided valuable insights into the dynamics of student-supervisor relationships. Lucia discussed the academic requirements for RPg students and identified common communication challenges encountered in these interactions. Participants learned about the four supervision styles, along with expectations for communication and relationship management. The workshop provided practical guidance on preparation before meetings, effective strategies for discussions, and appropriate follow-up actions afterward. Emphasizing the importance of collaborative academic relationships, the workshop equipped participants with the tools needed to foster a positive supervisory experience, ultimately leaving them better prepared to navigate their academic journeys and enhance their communication skills.
